This might be a late post as some stores are already stocked with them but if you’re still looking for the LEGO Disney Princess Olaf’s Summertime Fun (30397) polybags at Target, you may want to check the Easter section of the store. Also in the Easter section is the LEGO City Fire (30347). Both are going for $3.99 each.

If you’re looking to purchase the LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter Minifigure (5004468), aka the Chicken Suit Guy, you can now purchase it online at Toys R Us. As of this writing, it is available for Ship-To-Home for $5.99 each.
The Chicken Suit Guy is the same minifigure from the Series 9 Collectible Minifigures (71000) but it also comes with a cardboard box as well. The main reason why people are looking for him is because they’re going for a pretty steep amount on the secondary market and this is a cheaper way to get him. I’m not sure how many they have in stock online but hurry if you want to get one.
Update: It’s sold out online. Your best bet to get one is to sign up for their notifications for when they return to stock or keep checking in stores.
Update 2: It’s available again online and some stores have reported to have them in stock.… Continue
The 88th Academy Awards will be airing this Sunday and our friends over at Toscano Bricks has created a video of scenes from the nominees for Best Picture in LEGO form. The movies that are in the running for the Oscar are The Big Short, Bridge of Spies, Brooklyn, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Martian, The Revenant, Room, and Spotlight. Check out their video below.
The Particle Accelerator project by JK Brickworks is the latest one to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. If creator’s name sounds familiar, that’s because his Labyrinth Marble Maze (21305) will be released in April.
The particle accelerator is based on the real life machine that uses electromagnetic fields to propel charged particles to contain them in defined beams. The most well known one is the Large Hadron Collider built by CERN. For the LEGO version, it basically demonstrates the concept by using LEGO balls that spin around the ring. Check out how it works in the video below.
The project now joins the Fossil Museum, the Gingerbread House, the Modular Train Station, the Old Fishing Store, and the Jedi High Council as the ones that qualify for the First 2016 Review Stage.
The LEGO Seasonal Easter Chick (40202) has started to show up at LEGO Brand Stores and on the back of the instructions, we get a sneak peek at the Halloween 2016 Seasonal set for 2016 which is a Vampire with a small bat. Again, the build will be a builable character and honestly, I like the head for the Vampire. Thanks to Sophie from LLC for the email.
Last year, I reported on a new LEGO DK book coming out this year called LEGO Star Wars: Chronicles of the Force and now the final cover has been revealed as well as the exclusive minifigure that will be included which is The Force Awakens Unkar’s Brute. If you don’t remember when he appeared in the film, check out the spoilers below.
The book will be available on June 7 and you can now pre-order it on Amazon.

It looks like LEGO has expanded into Italy as there will be a new LEGO Certified Store opening there this summer. The store will be ran by Percassi House of Brands which has worked with other major name brands of products.
If you’re not familiar with what a LEGO Certified Store is, it’s basically a store owned and operated by a third party with an agreement with LEGO sort of like a franchise. You’ll mostly find these stores in countries where LEGO does not have their own stores in.
Thanks to Andrea from Mattonito for the email.
